So this win means the Cowboys will be better next year because they have a winning mentality... right? Raise your hand if you're part of the genius crowd who said that's more true than landing a blue chip prospect like Patrick Peterson.

we could still be at 9th or 10th. hopefully one falls and we trade up. we'll see. it;s way better than being 13th overall.

and on the bright side, felix balled out.

I guarantee we'll have a crap draft. The difference between picking in the Top 5 versus where we'll be picking now is HUUUUUUUUUGE. ...and YES, we would've been picking in the Top 5 with Detroit winning today.

You guys get too worked up over draft picks. There is a ton of defensive talent in the draft. Patrick Peterson isn't the end all be all. Getting a guy like Kenny Tate and a good, slipping corner like Johnny Patrick or Aaron Williams is good enough for me.

Besides, there's still FA. Everything isn't going to be fixed in the draft unless they get lucky, so turning things around is going to be a lot more than having a higher draft pick. You guys should look at the elite teams in the game. None of them have done it based on one pick, but rather many. When was the last time a team went from fringe to contender with just one pick? The Patriots, Steelers, Ravens, Eagles, etc. all built their teams with multiple draft picks and good FA moves. Hanging onto one prospect isn't going to change much.

I've said this many times, and people like D-Unit and The Finisher never respond to it.

Picking top 5 isn't the end all to fielding a great team next year. The Raiders/Lions/Rams are proof of this year after year...While the steelers/pats/colts all pick at the bottom of the draft and draft great.

You realize we'd be picking in the Top 5 in every round right? Not just the first?

The quality of player available is that much better in every round. But then again, you think Kenny Tate and Patrick Peterson hardly have a difference worth noting. meh. No wonder you don't care about the importance of the draft. Tell me what this win means for you... really... I need a good laugh right about now.
